Try to figure out what I should do to my 2006 Mac Pro desktop, it has 10.7.5 version running, want to install SSD drive and have 10.8.2 fresh install on it. However, it won’t allow my 10.8.2 disc to continue the installation, I believe it needs EFI flash first, does anyone know how to do it? Is it complicated or pretty straightforward?

Thanks,

Official support for 2006 and 2007 Mac Pros ends with 10.7.5. Anything newer is a hacked install and hacking you can go up to El Capitan.

There are reference threads about how to install past 10.7.5, use the search and look at the Mac Pro Upgrade stickie thread.
